We can say that these were Evola's principles, but it is important to say that he presented them primarily as immutable principles which are known as Tradition. In practice only if these principles can be implemented it is possible to have really working social system.
The lighting is very True and Organic! This is a good summary of Evola's ideas. This will help explaining it to other people that are also fed up with the liberal democratic order. Well done.
They say a strong marker of intelligence is being able to compress complex or difficult ideas into something easy to understand, and you most certainly have this ability. Great video as always!
Man, I just came from Libertarians Thai Community and they recommend me bout Julius Evola So I found your channel that talked about bitcoin,sovereign individual and Nietzsche I really enjoy it so much even if my english skill is not so good enough. Hope your channel got a English sub so I can use auto translate to get your communicate for more. Thanks for your great work I have followed you on Twitter already.
One of the great great although massively underrated 20th century authors CJ Cherry wrote eloquently of precisely this kind of system in the Forgienger Series . Although possibly not her masterwork this 20 volume series is truly great litterature. Cherrys lifelong and brilliant exploration of culture worked gradually toward a total political theory. To my astonishment it appears to be spot on with Evola Amazing. Perhaps Cherry knew the work of Evola but I suspect not. Truth is truth. Her work is astonishing brilliant and inexplicably comprehensive. To do a quick summery of anyone in a youtube segment is not really going to flesh out a subtle and sophisticated thesis. but kudos to Millerman for trying. Cherry brings it vividly and immediately to life. She breaths life into it. I have not read Evola (yet )but because of Cherry this fairly dry academic analysis ( what else could it be ) is explosive and vital. It is incredibly rare that fiction captures such complex thinking. but I think I am right about this. Cherry nails it utterly .
I'm interested in Evola's view of self-development and hadn't looked at his views on the State. This video seems quite good to me, haven't finished it. Evola seems to describe a lot of things people might do as a society with or without a State, in forming their natural group of people. America as a State means people of one custom can impose themselves on people of an opposite custom. And most obnoxious of all, you are born the chattel of every other who can vote on your life, including new people you have never met. When Americans have discussed wars and laws, we did so out of natural respect for our fellow people. At this point, I see the process is irrational, that people, their loyalty and their comprehension are unreliable, and that no one is rightly born subject to the dictates of people not known to them. "We're going to vote on who tells us what to do" is slavery.
Unless I’m misunderstanding how Evola is using the term “state”, opposing totalitarianism seems contradictory to the notion that the state precedes all other natural attachments. It completely undermines the proposition of a transcendent monarchy, since the state is anything but transcendent but entirely historically contingent.
It's Liam Gallagher Diamond in the Dark. I can't monetize my videos with ads because I am using copyrighted music but I don't care (For now) because it is such a banger.
Another problem with monarchy is that children of great men rarely become great. Why? It is paradoxical. The children have every reason to be great, resources, access to the great leader etc, excellent education, travel and so on. But, they just don’t become great. During Rome’s rise they realised this genetic flaw and so initiated a principle of adoption. Ie, they found another non genetically related person who had superior characteristics and groomed them for leadership. Rome’s decline arguably began when Rome broke with tradition and granted leadership to Marcus Aurelius’ sin Commodos. And it all went downhill from there because of this genetic flaw.
In crisis it created good leaders but it was super unstable imagine the worst corporate pseudopolitical backstabbing actually some Roman emperors saw this feudal structure as the solution to the instability
I disagree with Evola slightly on point 7. I think institutions like Parliament, or the Reichstag, or the Estates General are fine to have, if anything they help the bottle let out some steam so it won't explode; but they should be consultative assemblies only, not legislative or executive assemblies.
i had the same idea some months ago. parliaments should be powerless but give the people a sense that their opinions are still being considered despite being of lower value in general. give access to the ruling class or king. would also b less atractive for parasites and lobbyists due to the limited power and therefore represent the peoples will more accurately
Would it at least be reasonable to prefer communism to capitalism, Evola did say liberalism wasn’t devoid of merit his essay “the two faces of liberalism”
Are you dumb or what? What having a monarchy or a democracy has to do with feeding people lol. UAE is a monarchy they eat just fine. Uk is a monarchy. China has a ditctator so basically a worse version of a king and they became the second richest country in the world. We eat better than the Middle Ages because of technology and science not because of politics lol
If he said nothing else, his thoughts against economism would remain absolutely essential. The most important thing we could do is understand that organizing society around economics is doomed--ugly and insipid organizing principles of Philistines!
Unfortunately for you, every human group that exists now, and that we have any historical evidence for, organizes themselves on some version of biological/genetic similarity.
This channel is criminally underrated.
Eh.. it needs more subway surfers or family guy clips

This channel is basically what a normal university experience was up until the 1960’s.
As is millermanschool.com
My favorite work out listen. Thanks again, Michael!
God damn, just found my spirit animal. Julius Evola is the man.
Will watch it at my lunch break
I like the new opening.
Buddhism saved Evola from suicide, he said. Shambhala was his ideal, based in Tibet physically but everywhere, cosmically.
This is telling because based on this video. His Ideal is Tibet with the head of state as Dalaï lama
First there was Tea for the Tillerman, then there was Evola for the Millerman.
Evola and the Bunnymen
Wow, great content. I appreciate your intellect and humbleness. Keep up the great content. What Evola books would you suggest? 🙏🏾👍🏽
Reading “Ride the Tiger” 🐅 now
Thank you

Incredibly informative thx

Which state came closest to this ideal?
Probably Dengist China
Opening song is dynamite

You have a beautiful channel thanks brother please keep it up. Astute mind and sober analysis
Can someone make a list

It shows that power is shared, not held by one man.
What country do you feel has the closest to a true state? Singapore?
Before China took over, I believe it was Tibet.
All modern country are ruled by the third class there is no modern country close to a True state
Pearls before swine.
I always pronounce it, Julius ‘E-vola. Cause it sounds cooler. Why would his own name not be pronounced in the most flattering way as possible.
I disagree with Evola slightly on point 7. I think institutions like Parliament, or the Reichstag, or the Estates General are fine to have, if anything they help the bottle let out some steam so it won't explode; but they should be consultative assemblies only, not legislative or executive assemblies.

Create situations and conflicts where the dictator is given absolute power.
Furthermore a dictator is not going to share power with a monarchy (and certainly not lords or aristocrats.) That would be a very stupid dictator.
Sounds great, but impossible to achieve. You'd need flawless people for such a system.
Thanks for this summary. Evola sounds delusional, but interesting as an academic exercise.
Would it at least be reasonable to prefer communism to capitalism, Evola did say liberalism wasn’t devoid of merit his essay “the two faces of liberalism”
So… Evola’s ideal state is a decentralized monarchial state? Like medieval Europe? I wonder how he could feed an entire nation with this type of state

No fan of racial biology or organization by haplogroup…
So many idiots in DR circles overlook this about Evola or are just plain ignorant of it.
Unfortunately for you, every human group that exists now, and that we have any historical evidence for, organizes themselves on some version of biological/genetic similarity.
@@thadtuiol1717 What do you mean?
Summary: Evola was a fool with no understanding of human nature.
No, that’s Karl Marx
@@hidekitojo2277 Well, him too, that's for sure. Evola was a genius compared to Marx, but that ain't saying much.
@@KRGrunerboth Marx and Evola were 10000 times smarter than neoliberals like you
